Custom Station
Tanghulu
Dip it, freeze it, and watch it shine. Guests enjoy fresh fruit coated in a crisp sugar shell, made fresh at a staffed station that feels as glossy and beautiful as it tastes.
What It Is
Tanghulu is a traditional candied fruit skewer, made fresh at the station by dipping fruit into hot sugar syrup and setting it into a crisp, glassy shell. Guests watch each skewer go from fresh fruit to a shining, candy-coated treat in front of them.
An attendant runs the station for the full booking window, dipping and finishing skewers to order so guests always get a shell that is glossy and just set rather than one that has gone sticky sitting out. The finished skewers have real visual presence on a dessert table, catching light with their glass-like shine.
It is a striking, made-to-order dessert that works as a dedicated station or as a standout addition alongside other sweets, and it photographs beautifully at any event.
Where It Works
Tanghulu works well anywhere guests are drawn to a striking, made-to-order dessert, and it holds up at both casual and upscale events.
How Long It Runs
The tanghulu station typically runs for up to 4 hours, staffed by an attendant for the full activation window. It works well as a dessert-table addition or a late-night station for guests looking for something sweet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about booking a tanghulu station for your event.
What is tanghulu?
Tanghulu is a traditional candied fruit skewer made by dipping fresh fruit into hot sugar syrup and letting it set into a crisp, glassy shell. Our attendant makes each skewer fresh at the station rather than serving from a pre-made batch.
Is tanghulu a good fit for a dessert table?
Yes. Its glossy, glassy shine gives it real visual presence, and it works well as a striking centerpiece alongside other desserts or as its own dedicated station.
How much space does the station need?
The station needs a modest footprint for the dipping setup plus a queue area in front. We confirm exact dimensions during planning and coordinate placement with your venue.
Are kosher options available?
Yes. Kosher options are available on request, so the station fits comfortably at mitzvahs and other events where kosher service matters. Mention it during planning and we will build the menu around it.
